The Imaginary Game

is a live action role playing game for kids

age 8 - 14

Your small band of crafters, warriors, and magic-users has found

a strange new  land.

Messages on scrolls tell of quests, training, adventures

Myths to be unearthed from the Land.

Make your flag;

build your arms and armor;

inhabit the world;

reveal magic; 

taste sweet victory.

•

The artifacts, spells, and deeds of the last game become the magic and lore that begins our next one.

Our Motto.

We practice mindfulness and awareness in our Game.

We play for a sense of individual achievement within a collective larger than ourselves.

Every time we take our turn in the Game,

we ask ourselves three questions:

Is it safe?

Is it kind?

It is fun? (just for me, or for everyone?)

If the answer to those questions is yes, 

then give it a try.


Welcome to The Imaginary Game!
